  • A Right Royal Visit! Spring 2016
    boltonschool.org A Right Royal Visit! Spring 2016 Highlights from the Head... Welcome to the Spring edition of ‘Voice’! In our recent Inspection report, the visiting team judged that ‘the school is highly successful in meeting its aim to realise the potential of each pupil.’ I hope that this newsletter gives you an insight in to how we do this. When commenting on Beech House and Hesketh House, the inspectors said that: ‘In Years 1 to 6, excellent standards of achievement are demonstrated within music and drama. Netball and swimming teams perform to high standards and chess players compete at national levels. There are notable successes in speaking and listening examinations.’ Moving to the Senior School, the Inspectors continued: ‘Pupils are successful in national science Olympiad competitions. Pupils perform with distinction in a range of musical ensembles, and results in individual music examinations are excellent. They compete regionally and nationally in both lacrosse and netball, as well as representing their highly successful school teams. Pupils’ levels of participation in volunteering are exceptional, with the school having achieved national recognition’. All of the above are represented in these pages; I hope that the girls will enjoy being reminded of their highlights over the past few months and that their families and friends will share in this joy as they read of their success. One of the advantages of a relatively large school is the number of opportunities which it affords. In our case, these opportunities are further increased by our proximity to the Boys’ Division, which means that many of our ensembles and dramatic performances benefit from the participation of the boys.

  • Paratoo, Kapunda, Etc?
    T Do Cockney names sound better than Nuccaleena, Angipena…? Paratoo, Kapunda, etc? There used to be a watercourse up north called ‘Breakfast Time Creek’ because the old bullock-drivers, starting early, always made it at tucker time. The natives called it ‘Malthiecowie’ (cool water) which was certainly as appropriate and much more musical… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Table Lands - A government school near Eudunda; opened in 1895, it closed in 1920. Earlier, circa 1870, a Lutheran school of the same name was conducted on section 248, Hundred of Julia Creek, taking its name from a ‘table’ or plateau of flat land north of Saint Kitts. Tabor - In 1850, this German village in the Mount Lofty Ranges was reported as being named after a town in Bohemia, Germany. Tailem Bend - In the early 1840s, George Mason was a police trooper at Wellington (later, he became Sub- protector of Aborigines) and it is recorded that he said, ‘the scrub blacks called the place “Thealem”, which probably means “bend”.’ (See Marmon Jabuk & Mason) Of interest, also, is the fact that Donald Gollan called his sheep run ‘Taleam’. Professor N.B. Tindale says it derives from teigalang; teigai - ‘to miss aim’ for it was here Ngurunderi failed for a second time to kill the giant Murray Cod, Ponde. On 19 February 1846 the Government Gazette recorded that occupation licences had been issued to Messrs Archibald Cooke, John Morphett and John Gifford over land in the near vicinity. (See Cooke Plains & Gifford Hill) The town was proclaimed on 28 July 1887 and Tailem Bend School opened in 1902; a photograph of students is in the Observer, 10 October 1908, page 3.
